[0014] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0015] 1. The present invention discloses a straightening device for an automotive headrest rod. A drive assembly moves a set of sliding blocks, enabling a set of extrusion rollers to extrude and straighten the headrest rod by pushing the pusher rod. A rotating assembly rotates a cross plate, allowing the extrusion rollers to rotate simultaneously with the extrusion, improving the straightening effect. This addresses the problems in existing technologies where unstable raw material quality, such as substandard strength and toughness of steel, can lead to bending of the rod during processing.

[0024] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this utility model easier to understand, the present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.

[0025] like Figures 1 to 5As shown in the figure, a straightening device for a car headrest rod according to an embodiment of the present invention includes an L-shaped plate 1, on which a straightening mechanism is provided. The straightening mechanism includes: a pressing component, including a fixed plate 2 fixed to the transverse side wall of the L-shaped plate 1, a cross plate 3 connected to the fixed plate 2 via a rotating component, a set of first sliding grooves 4 on the cross plate 3, a first sliding block 5 slidably connected in the first sliding grooves 4, an L-shaped block 6 fixed to the side wall of the first sliding block 5, and fixed blocks 7 fixed to both sides of the L-shaped block 6. A pressing wheel 8 is rotatably connected between the opposite side walls of the pair of fixed blocks 7 via a first rotating shaft. A driving component is provided on the side wall of the cross plate 3 to drive the set of first sliding blocks 5 to slide; and a pushing component, which is provided on the base plate for pushing the headrest rod. During operation, the pushing component is used to push the headrest rod. The drive assembly can move a set of sliding blocks, enabling a set of extrusion rollers 8 to extrude and straighten the push rod of the push assembly. Furthermore, the rotating assembly can rotate the cross plate 3, allowing the extrusion rollers 8 to rotate simultaneously with the extrusion, improving the straightening effect of the push rod. This solves the problem in existing technologies where unstable raw material quality, such as steel with unsatisfactory strength and toughness, can easily lead to bending of the rod during processing. Additionally, unreasonable processing techniques, such as improper operation during welding and cutting, can cause thermal stress that deforms the rod, requiring straightening. However, traditional straightening methods are time-consuming, labor-intensive, and easily affect straightening efficiency.

[0026] The drive assembly includes an annular groove 9 on the side wall of the cross plate 3. A first rotating ring 10 is slidably connected in the annular groove 9. A square block 11 is fixed to the side wall of the first rotating ring 10. Each of the four corners of the side wall of the square block 11 is rotatably connected to a connecting rod 12 via a second rotating shaft. The other end of the connecting rod 12 is rotatably connected to an isosceles block 13 via a third rotating shaft. The isosceles block 13 is fixed to the side wall of the first sliding block 5. A rectangular block 14 is fixed to the top of the cross plate 3. An electric push rod 15 is fixed to the bottom of the rectangular block 14. The telescopic end of the electric push rod 15 is fixed to an L-shaped block 6. During operation, one of the L-shaped blocks 6 is moved by the push rod. Thus, through the movement of one L-shaped block 6, and through the linkage of a set of isosceles blocks 13, the first sliding block 5, and the connecting rod 12, a set of L-shaped blocks 6 are moved, allowing a set of extrusion wheels 8 to extrude and straighten the pillow rod. This process can accommodate pillow rods of different diameters.

[0027] The pushing assembly includes a second sliding groove 16 on one side of an L-shaped plate 1. A sliding plate 17 is slidably connected within the second sliding groove 16. A pushing block 18 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the sliding plate 17. A pushing groove 19 is provided on the side wall of the pushing block 18. Bolts are threadedly connected to the pushing block 18 through a pair of first threaded holes. A threaded rod 20 is rotatably connected to the fixed plate 2 through a rotating hole. One end of the threaded rod 20 is rotatably connected to the vertical side wall of the L-shaped plate 1. The sliding plate 17 is threadedly connected to the threaded rod 20 through the second threaded hole. A servo motor 21 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the fixed plate 2 through the L-shaped rod. The output end of the servo motor 21 is driven by the threaded rod 20. During operation, the pillow rod is fixed by a pair of bolts on the pushing block 18. The servo motor 21 drives the threaded rod 20 to rotate, causing the sliding plate 17 to slide. This pushes the push rod block to move, thus moving the pillow rod. A set of extrusion wheels 8 then extrudes the pillow rod, restoring it to a straight state.

[0028] The rotating assembly includes a second rotating ring 22 fixed to the side wall of the fixed plate 2. A toothed ring 23 is rotatably connected to the second rotating ring 22. The inner circular wall of the toothed ring 23 is connected to the cross block through a pair of fixed rods. A gear 24 is fixed to the threaded rod 20. The gear 24 meshes with the toothed ring 23. During operation, the meshing of the gear 24 and the toothed ring 23 allows the threaded rod 20 to drive the push block 18 and the fixed pillow rod to move. The rotation of the toothed ring 23 drives a set of extrusion wheels 8 on the cross plate 3 to rotate while extruding, which straightens the pillow rod. The rotation and extrusion of the extrusion wheels 8 can apply force to the bent headrest rod, which can more effectively restore it to a straight state.

[0029] Working Principle: The drive assembly moves a set of sliding blocks, allowing a set of extrusion rollers 8 to straighten the push rod of the push assembly. The rotating assembly rotates the cross plate 3, causing the extrusion rollers 8 to rotate simultaneously, improving the straightening effect. This solves the problem in existing technologies where unstable raw material quality (e.g., steel strength and toughness not meeting requirements) can lead to bending of the rod during processing. Furthermore, improper processing techniques, such as welding and cutting, can cause thermal stress that deforms the rod, requiring straightening. Traditional straightening methods are time-consuming, labor-intensive, and inefficient. The push rod moves one of the L-shaped blocks 6, which, through the movement of the L-shaped block 6, straightens the rod through a set of isosceles blocks 13 and the first sliding... The linkage between block 5 and connecting rod 12 causes a set of L-shaped blocks 6 to move, allowing a set of extrusion wheels 8 to extrude force onto the headrest rod, straightening it and adapting to headrest rods of different diameters. The headrest rod is fixed by a pair of bolts on push block 18. The servo motor 21 drives the threaded rod 20 to rotate, causing the sliding plate 17 to slide, which in turn pushes the push rod block to move, thus moving the headrest rod. The extrusion wheels 8 then extrude force onto the headrest rod, restoring it to a straight state. The engagement of gear 24 and gear ring 23 allows the threaded rod 20 to move the push block 18 and the fixed headrest rod. The rotation of the gear ring 23 causes the extrusion wheels 8 on the cross plate 3 to rotate while extruding, straightening the headrest rod. The rotation and extrusion action of the extrusion wheels 8 apply force to the bent headrest rod, more effectively restoring it to a straight state.
